Not allowed any more. Just the size for choking on when placed in the
mouth and when on the ground a serious slip hazard.

When we played the marbles were the size of big hailstones.

Our children once complained that they'd lost a marble in the garden.

OIn day I was digging and found a marble.

"I've found it!" I called. They were pleased.

That was thirty odd years ago.

Now, very frequently when I trowel (not dig) the garden I find a marble. I
always call, "I've found it!" Spouse always knows what I mean.

The children are long gone. The marbles are forming a l-o-n-g line along a
windowsill.

Where DO they all come from? And why don't grandchildren want them?

On the way home from Scotland to Yorkshire last night we saw the most
stunning lightning displays, horizontal forking in various colours. It
was horribly hot though, until we got home when it rained the sort of
rain you don't get often but is very good at clearing and freshening the
air.

And making vegetables shoot up :-)


Wots rain? :-(

It's sort of little drops of water, which for some reason, now and again,
fall out of the sky, if you have a little patience, and if you keep
looking, you might, one day, see some.

It's an experience not to be missed!

But don't waste it!

Place butts to collect it forom roofs, buckets and bins everywhere else.

It does wonders for vegetables.

And no doubt flowers but I don't care about those :-)

What a nice little story Mary, my six year old grandson has just
discovered the joys of marbles, his hands are not quite
big enough to master the action required but I am sure he will learn
soon enough :-)

It's just happened.


Bristols the size of hailstones in marble would have been worse - probably a
sign of urban malnutrition and extreme glandular calcification.

But I find the one's with small Bristols also have a small firm behind. It's
my preference of course. ;O)

If my memory serves me right, it was a 'small firm behind' the 'Bristol' 403
;-))

But these were not my preference;-). I was a Jag man at that time, now BMW

Probably not for men with marbles for stones, or even stones the size
of marbles. And, of course, there are a lot of both sexes that have
lost their marbles.
